OCTRI boilerplate template for inclusion in funding proposals

A sample of OCTRI's boiler plate template for inclusion in funding proposals can be downloaded below.

If you are submitting a funding application with specific OCTRI resources, you must request a cost estimate to include in the proposal budget. Without a cost estimate on file we cannot guarantee the resources you plan on using will be available or feasible for your project.

Please complete our Resource Request Form to submit a request for a cost estimate and letter of support.
